Last week’s mystery, “Another bridge” was too doggone easy. It showed an interesting angle of the Liberty Bridge at Falls Park on the Reedy River in Greenville, but its unique look allowed lots of readers to identify it.
Hats off to these sleuths: Jay Altman, Elizabeth Jones, Susan James, Donna McGreevy, Mary Greene and John Hart, all of Columbia; Daniel Prohaska of Summerville; Penny Forrester of Tallahassee,Fla.; Kevin Mertens of Greenville; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Faith Line of Anderson; Greg Nowell of Oconee; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Steve Willis of Lancaster; Jacie Godfrey, Pam Little-McDaniel and Barry Wingard, all of Florence; Elaine Huff-Lowe of Inman; Dave Taylor of Darlington; and Bill Segars of Hartsville.
Peel provided some context about the 345-foot-long suspension foot-bridge: “The single-span, single-cable suspension bridge has two inclined towers and was first opened to the public in 2004. At 345-feet long, 12-feet wide and 8-inches thick, the concrete reinforced deck is supported by a single suspension cable. The $4.5 million structure was funded by the City of Greenville’s Hospitality Tax, designed by bridge architect Miquel Rosales of Boston, and engineered by Schlaich Bergermann. Chris Britton, structural division manager for Taylor and Murphy, describes the bridge as ‘an ultra lightweight bridge, which almost looks like it’s floating on air.’”
